| Bibliography: | Over the years, we have had hundreds of articles in the Contra Costa Times, written by Maggie Crumm, et al. ,(pre-show publicity, opening night reviews, company news when we retired our mortgage, and expanded our building, etc.) Listings in what's happening in every other major newspaper in our area as well. Too numerous to list. |
| Comments: | As an amateur, community based theater company, we take great pride in the shows we present. We are a company of singers, dancers, and musicians that accept any challenge; we are large enough, and sufficiently well-funded to mount lavish productions that rival professional touring groups." |
